It possibly locked onto a hot pixel after it lost the star - a dark frame will probably fix this if you have not already done so. Also suggest you use 3x3 median noise reduction if camera noise is a problem.

What are the tracking graphs like? - you can diagnose many problems just by seeing what they are doing
At 2.5 sec it was stalled out. "Requesting current distance" again. I went back to 1 sec and it worked again. Until it lost the guide star. I'll try again tonight using those tips and this time I'll try to remember the graphs!
